Thanks. I'm torn between just buying a box of factory ammo, like these two, or trying to work up a load. I've considered accubonds, sciroccos, and partitions. I have a deadly load for my local whitetails, shooting 168 CT ballistic silvertips. I've also got a load for 190 bergers that the rifle likes. Not sure what I think about the bergers, I still have about 8 loaded rounds, but I like the CTs so much I usually use them.

I like the higher velocity of the factory sciroccos, but the 4,000 some lbs of energy from the partitions sounds pretty awesome. Worried that if I wait too long on factory ammo, it will be hard to find.

remember when shooting elk that energy is only part of the equation. As JE Custom recommends, bullet construction is very important when it comes to elk. You want a tough bullet.
